Magic Johnson lends yearbook photo, voice to Super Bowl ad

No one, not even celebrities, is too fond of revisiting their high school yearbook photos, some of which can be full of questionable decisions - like Tina Fey holding a rose.

But not only do a handful of celebrities appear in this Super Bowl XI ad for the Honda CR-V as their high school selves through the magic of CGI, they offer a little bit of motivational advice.

The ad has some local flavor as Everett High and Michigan State legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson is part of the festivities.

Magic gets off easy in terms of photo choice, a photo which shows him beaming his famous smile. Besides Fey's rose, Steve Carell appears with a mustache and Jimmy Kimmel in his band uniform holding a clarinet. The ad is being billed as photos from their high school years, but Magic's photo appears to be a younger version.
